01Behringer OD300 Overdrive/Distortion
Set Mode knob nearly all the way toward Distortion (right) to emulate Cobain's maxed Boss DS-2 Turbo mode
Your Behringer OD300 is acting as the primary high-gain distortion engine, so the MAX practice amp is set to its clean channel with gain low (2) to avoid muddy double-gain stacking. The amp's simple EQ is set with bass slightly boosted to compensate for the small speaker enclosure while treble is kept at 6 to replicate the harsh, cutting top-end of the Paramount show. For the quiet verses, stomp off the OD300 for the raw clean sound before kicking it back on for the chaotic sections.
